Worcester

A newly released 911 call and a witness account are raising fresh questions about a car crash involving a Worcester city councilor. Reports from WGBH suggest the details revealed in the emergency call and witness statements do not fully align with earlier accounts of the incident, prompting calls for more transparency about what happened and how officials are handling the case.

The M5 is facing multiple disruptions, with the Worcester News reporting a vehicle fire that partially closed the motorway in Somerset, causing miles of delays, a crash blocking the carriageway near Worcester, and a planned overnight closure warning affecting two sections of the motorway. Motorists are being advised to expect significant congestion and to plan alternative routes where possible.
